IOOC and IOOS Advisory Committee:Integration Challenges
David Legler, IOOC Co-Chair Wednesday, April 19, 2017
IOOC and IOOS AC Integration
Summary from previous IOOC/IAC engagement• GOOS: Framework for Ocean Observing (FOO)• GOOS: Essential Ocean Variables (EOV)• IOOC Integration: around themes of Societal and
Scientific Challenges, e.g. • Addressing sea level changes• Regional ocean variability and relationship to ecological
changes (building off Pacific Warm Anomaly workshops)• Others…
Sea Level Rise
How can IOOC address sea level rise and its impacts?
Emerging Areas
Emerging Areas – Sea Level Rise
Earth's FutureVolume 2, Issue 12, pages 579-600, 18 DEC 2014 DOI: 10.1002/2014EF000272http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2014EF000272/full#eft254-fig-0004
• Sea level exceedance of thresholds increasing over time.
• Impacts are real. • Ocean observing critical for
global, regional, and local drivers, prediction systems, and impacts
• Next steps to improve integration and provision of required information- TBD

Modeling Task Team
Goal: Develop a national modeling strategy to determine how regional-scale models supported by IOOS regions can be integrated into Federal efforts
OUTCOMES: • Promote synergy and efficiencies amongst Federal and regional
IOOS modeling communities over next 5-8 years
Model Coupling
Data Assimilation

MTT Activities:• Inventoried IOOS modeling activities• Identify specific executable projects• Identified specific common model development challenges • Recommended approaches to address these challenges and promote synergy• Identified and prioritized short- and long-term activities• Identified opportunities to coordinate regional modeling activities
Modeling Coordination Task TeamIOOS Coastal Ocean Modelers Caucus (RAs)
Animal Telemetry Task Team
ATN Updates:1. Phase I (2016/17)
• Coordination, support, and enhance planned and funded animal telemetry efforts
• Data Management System/ Data Assembly Center (Operational Jan 2017)• Governance Structure established
2. Phase II (2017/18/19)• Workshops to ID and prioritize baseline observations and required infrastructure
Goal: Support transition of the ATN from the planning phase to operational phase and become an integrated component of the IOOS Enterprise
OUTCOMES: Developed ATN as an operational component of the IOOS Enterprise including data management and permanent staff
Goal: Enable increased engagement with the glider community and to advance the
coordinated use of glider observing systems to meet global, national and
regional sub-surface observing requirements.

Glider TT Updates:1. US Underwater
Glider Workshop (Jan 2017)
2. Report and Recommendations to IOOC
3. Underwater Glider User Group (UG)2
OUTCOME: Catalyzing an enthusiastic U.S. glider community to share resources and best practices –including stronger interagency engagement
Overarching goals:• Share experiences related to glider and sensor technology• Communicate the most recent scientific and operational accomplishments• Share approaches to logistical and operational challenges• Improve glider data system (access, standards, quality control, formats,
distribution, etc.)• Disseminate news about opportunities and needs for gliders
Potential activities: • Establish a forum for question and answers about gliders• Create a “hotline” or POCs to help in glider emergencies• Host a software exchange for glider operations and data• Be a nexus for standards in data services• Foster communication between glider groups and users, including modelers• Set up a mechanism for sharing of glider resources• Create a site for glider news, including the areas of ongoing operations

West Coast/California Current Task Team Proposal (draft)
Drivers:• Desire to develop integrated (from physics to biology) coastal
ocean observing systems that link operational global open ocean systems (i.e. satellites, Argo, BioArgo, etc.)
• Sustained observing assets (e.g. CalCOFI, moorings, glider transects) and capacity/capabilities to provide the spatial reach/platforms
• New emerging technologies (acoustics, genomics, optics) and programs (ATN, MBON) are revolutionizing biological sensing so they can now be integrated with physics and biogeochemistry
Activities:• Review current observations and model solutions for the US West
Coast• Develop a concept/blueprint for an interdisciplinary backbone
system for the US West Coast, and eastern boundary systems in general, that connects seamlessly to the open ocean
• Produce white papers for OceanObs19 and other events
Life in the Sea Task Team Proposal (draft)
Drivers:• Desire to develop a sustained U.S. IOOS capability for integrated
biological observations in the ocean• Desire to cultivate increased engagement among the MBON, ATN,
IOOS Regional Associations, and other communities interested in fostering sustained collection of biology and biodiversity data
• Capability to integrate biological observations with environmental data to support ecosystem-scale management for multiple sectors
Activities:• Implement an interagency initiative for integrated stewardship and
protection of ocean and coastal health through a national observing network of marine biodiversity and animal movement
• Develop an implementation plan for a sustained, interagency U.S. IOOS role in biological observing at the regional, national, and global levels through a series of community workshops
• Produce white papers for OceanObs19 and other events
Summary and discussion
• IOOS Advisory Committee recommendation: integrate more around societal and topical scientific challenges
• IOOC Task Teams highly successful; an approach for building interagency cooperation and making permanent impacts with limited resources
• Sea Level: will take more time….
• West Coast/California Current Task Team (proposed)• Feedback welcomed
• Life in the Seas Task Team (proposed) • Feedback welcomed
